TOOL FOR FORMING THE NOSES AND ORIFICES OF JUGS, BOTTLES, &c.

Speccation of Letters Patent No. 23,623, dated April 12, 1859.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMASA S'roNn, of the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsyl fania, have invented a new and useful Iinproven'lent in Tools for Forming the Noses and Orifices of Jugs, Bottles, &c., Made of Plastic Substances, by which improvement lugs are formed on the interior of such orifices to hold the stopple; and I do hereby declare that the same is described and represented in the follmving specification and drawings.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention or improvement, I will proceed to describe its construction and the mode of using it, referring to the drawings in which the same letters indicate like parts in each of the figures.

Figure l, is an elevation of such tool, Fig. 2, is a plan; and Fig. 3, an end elevation; Fig. il, the nose of the bottle in section showing the lugs; Fig. 5, the stopple.

The nature of my invention and improvement in tools for forming the noses and orifices of jugs. bottles and other articles made of plastic substances, by which improvement lugs are forn'xed with facility on the interior of the orifice of the jug, bottle or article made to hold the stopple in or against the orifice, consists in making a portion of the spindle which forms the interior or orifice of the bottle nose to turn freely, while the other portion is held stationary; both portions being provided with corresponding scores .for each of the lugs to be'made; the scores in the rotating part of the spindle forming the lugs; and the scores in the stationary part allowing the lugs formed to be removed from the rotating part after the orifice and lugs have been formed and Completed as will be hereafter described.

In the accompanying drawings A, is a metal spring provided with metal jaws B, B, to form the outside of the bottle nose.

C, is a long spindle firmly fastened to the spring A, by the nut D, as shown in the drawing.

E, is a plate of metal having a plane or level face shown in Fig. 3, and provided with two arms F, F, which pass through holes in the spring, so that the spring traverses freely upon the arms, and the relative position of the several parts are maintained when the tool is used to form the nose of a jug or bottle.

G, is the portion of the spindle next to the face of the plate E, which portion G, is made to turn freely and is provided with two scores H, H, as shown in Fig. 6, in which scores the lugs I, I, are formed on the interior of the orifice of the bottle shown in Fig. 4, and also in the end view Fig. 7.

J, is the end of the spindle C, which forms the interior of the orifice K, beyond the lugs I, I; its large end is the same size as the portion G, and it is provided with two scores L, L, as shown in Fig. 8, through which scores the lugs I, I, pass as the part or portion G, of the spindle is drawn out of the orifice of the bottle.

M, Fig. 5, is the stopple made in the form shown in the drawing and provided with two inclined planes N, N, with scores like P, between them, through which scores the lugs I, I, pass when the stopple is put into or taken from the bottle.

Q, is a ring of india rubber or some kind of packing put around the stopple M to pack the joint between the flange of the stopple and the end of the bottle nose as the flange is drawn down by turning the inclined planes N, N, under the lugs I, I, to form a tight joint around the stopple.

Then a bottle has been blown, molded or formed, and the nose nearly completed, this tool is applied, while the glass or other material is still soft, by thrusting the end of the spindle into the orifice and pressing the plate E, against the end of the nose and pressing the jaws B, B, against it with the hand which holds the tool, and rotating the bottle at the same time, the part G, of the spindle turns with the bottle and the glass is pressed in to the scores H, H, and forms the lugs I, I, while the part J, of the spindle does not turn, but remains stationary, while the bottle nose revolves around it, hence the lugs I, I, are only as long as the space between the plate E, and the part G, and after the bottle has been turned so as to make the lugs, and finish it, the scores H, H, and L, L, are brought opposite to each other and the lugs formed in the scores H, H, slip out through the scores L, L, as the plug or spindle is drawn from the complete nose of the bottle.

I believe I have described and represented my invention and improvement so as to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use it. I will 110W State what I desire to secure by Letters Patent, to Wit:

I clailny l. Making one part of the spindle which forms the orifice of the jug` or bottle to turn freely substantially as described, While the other part remains stationary in the nose of the bottle.

2. I claim making one tWO, or more scores in combination with the corresponding score or scores in that part of the spindle which is stationary and Which aid in forming the orifice in the jug or bottle nose substantially as described.
